Wow! What a day. It's almost 5pm and we haven't had a minute's rest. I just interviewed former Super Bowl MVP and Hall of Famer John Elway. That interview will be on Money For Breakfast Friday morning (6-9a.m. EST). What an amazing guy! Did you know that he went to Stanford and was an Economics major? Did you also know that he was drafted by a Yankees Minor League team in the very early 80's? Five ... read more

The baby arrived. It's a girl -- Madison Sienna. My brother and sister-in-law are parents. So exciting!!!!! We finally have a girl in the family!!!! Woo-hoo!! Finally, I can buy pink! (I have three boys.) What a morning. This business is awesome. So excited to hear about MSFT's bid for YHOO. Who knows if the deal will happen and if it will the perfect mix of cultures, but there are a lot of ... read more

So it's been 24 hours, and I haven't blogged. My apologies! Remember the freezing temperatures? Well, starting last night, I felt some of the results. I've blown my nose about 200 times and my sinuses are so congested that I sound like a cartoon character. Such is life! Where did we leave off? Parties right? Well, last night we made our attempts to visit some of the well-known and cool ... read more

INSANE...SICK...DREAMY...THE CINDERELLA STORY. I am NUMB, EUPHORIC...ON CLOUD NINE. Wake me up from this dream. Actually don't wake me up!!! My heart is still racing! Miracles do come true, and last night I witnessed the greatest miracle in the history of sports, other than the USA hockey team beating the USSR in 1980. I cannot believe it! I have been a die-hard Giants fan for as long as I can ... read more

It's Tuesday afternoon and I'm on my way to pick up my oldest son Logan from school. Today has been another incredibly memorable day. I may have the best job on the planet. First of all, I arrived last night just before 9 p.m. Coming home to my boys after being on the road is the most rewarding and exhilarating moment. It beats everything (even Super Bowls)! Going up the elevator, my heart was ... read more

It's just past 10 p.m. and I've been sitting in the Green Room of Fox News's Election Headquarters. I was scheduled to talk about the economy between 9:30 and 10 p.m. I arrived around 8 p.m. so that I could watch the exit polls in many of the states that began closing at 8 p.m. The thing about television, particularly on a night like Super Tuesday, is that a hit time is never exact. Television, ... read more

News Flash: Jason Kidd is a Dallas Maverick! After months of speculation about where he would wind up following requests to be traded from the New Jersey Nets, it appears to be official. Nets General Manager Rod Thorn has reportedly traded Kidd to the Dallas Mavericks for Devean George, Devin Harris, Jerry Stackhouse, DeSagana Diop and Maurice Ager, as well as two draft picks and cash for Kidd and ... read more

Did you know that the Texas contest next Tuesday, March 4 is a hybrid primary-caucus? I did not know that! At least it is on the Democratic side. Most delegates are awarded on the primary vote and others by caucuses held later in the evening. The clincher.....voters can participate in both! Former President Bill Clinton traveling in Texas yesterday on Senator Hillary Clinton's behalf told voters, ... read more

Note to John McCain: This morning on Money For Breakfast I interviewed U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Robert Kimmitt. I asked him if John McCain became the next president of the United States, if he would be interested in remaining in his position. The answer? YES. He has spent the vast majority of his career in public service and has served in his current position for almost three years. He ... read more

After yesterday's semi-annual testimony to the members of the House Financial Services Committee and a lousy durable goods number you may, like me, be starting to wonder how bad does the future look. Is it as bleak as it sounds? I have interviewed many guests and economists over the past four months who fall into one of three camps. 1) We are in a recession 2) We are headed into a ... read more
